Dr Elemento invites you to “get chemical” and enjoy these 77 minutes of atom-themed, elemental and ionic music (atomic number 77 = Iridium, in case you were wondering). This month on the Parus radious show (we do periodically tackle such subjects).

Hey hey! Welcome back to the Parus radious show after a little summer hiatus. In addition to a summer packed full of great things, there was also a little sadness due to the loss of the greatest dog of all time – the Meta-Dog. In honor of the space-age rock-n-roll mechanical animal, this month’s show features all songs about… dogs! (Don’t worry, I promise there aren’t any sad songs… well maybe one, but I’ll warn you beforehand).

Welcome back listeners. This month I’m off to the land of the ice and snow, with the midnight sun and the hot springs flow. That’s right. It’s an all Iceland-themed show this month. Get your passports and hiking boots ready and I’ll meet you in the blue lagoon!

Hey there listeners. Got a headache? stomache ache? anxiety? depression? Well, I’ve concocted a special potion just for you, here in my rock’n’roll apothecary. Welcome to the Parus radious drug store. Now, take three bop pills and call me in the morning.

Muhammed Ali says in his autobiography: “I’m a fighter. I believe in the eye-for-an-eye business. I’m no cheek turner. I got no respect for a man who won’t hit back. You kill my dog, you better hide your cat.” Well, all you dog-killers and even for all you cheek-turners, this month we’re delving into songs that sing the merits or pitfalls of revenge and vengeance (and a little bit of Schadenfreude). Bust out the cold cuts music fans and sharpen those straight razors:

Take a walk in the woods with Parus radious. This month the show features songs about forests, trees, logs, timber and other woody wonders. So put on your hiking boots, grab your walking stick and get ready to head out on the road less traveled by…

Greetings podcast listener. Here I am, all wrapped up in a comfy blanket on the couch this cold snowy afternoon with a good book. But – oh no! I’m already on the last chapter of this book and I need to take a trip down the street to my local library and pick out the next book to keep me company during these dark winter nights. Want to come along? On the way we can listen to some songs about libraries and books.

Dedicated to Katey, Rita, Tiana, Ann, Mary Beth, Anna, John and all my other librarian friends that my unorganized brain may have misshelved.

p.s. you can click the links to see the books we found on our trip to the library:

I just came from another party filled with people I sort-of know, whose names are just at the tip of my tongue. Sorry Listener… remind me of your name once more? I’m Parus, Parus radious. Nice to meet you.
